What a great question, well here are some great answers.

1. You just simply look good with a beard.
2. It's somewhere to store the food that misses your mouth.
3. Because you just can (it's a bloke thing).
4. You are inspired by bearded greats like Abraham Lincoln, Ned Kelly and Santa (yes we know he's not real)
5. You have a really scary chin and need to hide it.

But seriously, Octobeard is about supporting the work of SU Queensland and particularly school chaplains. All school chaplains & SU Qld staff only exist through donations and community support. The more successful SU Qld becomes the greater the challenge it is to financially support the work in supporting our young people.

Where a community could support their local high school chaplain and one holiday camp, now they are being asked to support as well 3 Primary schools and 2 more camps.

That is why Octobeard is here To respond to the needs of communities who ask for chaplains in their schools.

So spread the word! Every facial follicle the sprouts forth a hair can motivate many to sponsor and ensure that our young people in our community have access to the support they need.

So head to the Ready, Set, Grow section of this site. Spread the word!  Get people to sponsor your ever changing face and get growing!!
